Phishing<\/strong> is a form of scam, tricking their victims into revealing sensitive information such as Bank Details<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of the phishing that you might encounter are in the form of emails, that might claim to be LCN<\/strong>. This might include following a link to enter bank details, claiming that you have missed a renewal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should you do in the event of an email received?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, Do not click on any links<\/strong>. This could install ransomware onto your device, and allow the intruder to have access to your details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any suspicions about an email, then please double check the information in the email and then reference your account to see whether this is true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be able to recognise any genuine renewal reminder emails from ourselves as they will direct you to a LCN<\/strong> link and ask you to log in to your control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should you do if you clicked the link?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you clicked the link, but not enter any bank details, then we strongly recommend you to change your password.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
